Prince Charles, Harry’s father, walked Meghan Markle down the aisle at St. George’s Chapel after her father, Thomas Markle, was forced to pull out at the last minute due to heart surgery.

Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, accompanied her daughter to Windsor Castle, along with select members of the wedding party.

Meghan released a statement following her father’s decision to pull out of the wedding, in which she professed she’s ‘always cared’ for him and hopes he can be given the time and space he needs to focus on his health.

The ceremony was officiated by the Dean of Windsor, David Conner, while the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, performed the newlywed’s vows.

During the ceremony, a sermon was given by Reverend Michael Curry of the Episcopal Church in the United States.

According to Kensington Palace, the wedding was attended by 600 guests, a small gathering when compared to William and Kate’s wedding, which boasted 1,900 guests.

A group of 200 close acquaintances are invited to an after-party at Frogmore House, a short walk from St George’s Chapel.
